Azaros eh?

In the next installment we will be analysing the wear patterns of leather
and cordura )

 

No, we will be analysing identical wear traits of the Azaro - as noted
on three different bikes in the Pixie driveway last Summer. It's the
effects of braking, that's all - it happens, live with it.

I certainly wouldn't be raising the tyre pressures above the
recommendations - that way lies hedgeboundness, for the sake of trying
to get another few miles out of a tyre.

 

I wasn't insinuating anything other than Azaro's are not particulally good
tyres i.e. Two riders I know that have tried Azaros both said they were
shite in the extreme... "Fucking lethal in the wet" were the exact words
used.

I know this, I get very pronounced lipping on the rear of the gixer and to a
lesser extent on the front.

This I agree with

 

Tyres do this sort of thing when they're bored, and you don't get much more
boring than a Deauville.

 

A voice of reason in the fog that is ukrm.
